Vacation & Paid Time Off

all national holidays and paid-off vacation.

3 weeks of paid vacation in your first year. Goes up to 4 weeks/year after that. On your 10th (15th, 20th, 25th, etc.) anniversary, you receive a 5th week bonus.

2 weeks the first year, and 4 weeks thereafter.

Several months of vacation every year.

tranditional summer and winter off

Lots of vacation! 20 vacation days a year (and 25 every fifth year of employment) and ~16 institute holidays.

Graduate students can do research from anywhere in the world, so as long as one's advisor gives approval, you can travel to visit family, or take a holiday and work a few days a week, and stay on payroll. However, there is no paid "time-off" in the sense that there are no official paid vacation days as a graduate student; you aren't allowed to stop working for a few weeks and still collect a stipend.

rollover days! bonus extra weeks. usually shuts down with "surprise" vacation days during xmas

the vacation and paid time off is good.
